I love the idea behind this project. I think Python is a superb language for learning programming, and the implementation of algorithms and data structures is not discussed enough in the Python world.
However, I'm not a big fan of the fact that all the collection ADTs are strict ports from Java, with far too many getSpam/setSpam methods and not enough __double_underscores__.
- bnmnetp 14y agoThanks for the comments. I'm one of the authors of the book (Miller). Although I wouldn't say that the ADTs are strict ports from Java, I would say that because we teach Java in our next class that was definitely in the back of our heads. Now that we are online, I could definitely see moving in the direction you suggest to make this interesting to a wider audience.
